Top critical review

Having seen all the positive reviews and listened to the clips on Amazon I thought I'd give this CD a try. I've now listened to it 4 or 5 times and it's a 'grower'. There are some good tracks (opener Pompeii in particular, even if it does sound a bit like a Maori chant meets 'Life In A Northern Town'!) and overall it's quite easy on the ear with some 'nice' tracks. And that's probably it in a nutshell. It's a 'nice' album, easy listening, nothing offensive. It reminds me a lot of some of the later Athlete albums (not a bad thing!) or some of Scouting For Girls' work, but try as hard as I can I like it but I just don't love it.
